The Savior called so lovingly,
I am saved by His blood;
I heard His voice from Calvary,
I am saved by His blood.
I wondered if it was for me,
A wretch so full of misery,
To be from sin and sorrow free,
I am saved by His blood.
Refrain
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
I am saved by His blood;
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
I am saved by His blood.
His loving words came to my ear,
I am saved by His blood;
Come unto Me, and do not fear,
I am saved by His blood.
And I had naught to bring to Him,
Only my vileness, guilt, and sin,
But as I came He let me in,
I am saved by His blood.
Refrain
He that believeth,
hear the word,
I am saved by His blood;
Hath life
in Jesus Christ our Lord,
I am saved by His blood.
The story never can be told;
Oh, cast on Him thy sin sick soul,
And He will quickly make thee whole,
And saved by His blood.
Refrain
